KRT Wire: White-supremacy record label closes after owner is accused of being Hispanic

Panzerfaust, the St. Paul, Minn.-based white-supremacy record label that made national headlines in the fall, has closed shop over questions of the owner's race. "They are out of business," said Minnesota Gang Strike Force investigator Dan Michener. Byron Calvert, 33, who was Panzerfaust's spokesman and public face, accuses his former business partner, Anthony Pierpont, 38, of having a Hispanic mother. (...) Panzerfaust, previously considered the nation's largest skinhead record label, created controversy in September when Calvert announced plans to distribute 100,000 copies of a "pro-white sampler CD" to teenagers across the country. siehe auch: The day the racist music died.
